CAT8 RJ45 Shielded Field Connector – 40G Termination for Cable OD 7.3-9.0mm

CAT8 RJ45 Shielded Field Connector – OD 7.3-9.0mm

Leverage the power of 40 Gigabit Ethernet with our professional shielded termination plugs. Your data network is only as strong as its weakest link—if you're using CAT8 cable, ensure you have the correct plugs for maximum performance. Designed specifically for CAT8 bulk cable, this 8-pin 8-conductor (8P8C) plug features 50 micro-inch gold-plated contacts for superior signal conductivity and zinc die-cast nickel-plated housing for exceptional durability and EMI protection. The integrated wire alignment insert enables efficient tool-less termination, saving time and money on installations. Supports PoE++ (802.3bt) 4PPoE up to 100W and is backward compatible with CAT6 systems.

Why Shield Your RJ45 Connectors?

The zinc die-cast nickel-plated shielded housing makes our CAT8 plugs more durable while being less prone to corrosion and rust. The included copper foil further shields against unwanted EMI and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity in demanding environments. All CAT8 plugs come standard with two different sizes of boots for optimal strain relief support around the connection point. Upgrade your system today for faster, more efficient network performance.
